​
Overview

Max Mode is a premium feature that gives you access to Claude’s most powerful model (Opus 4.5) for handling your most complex development challenges. Max Mode is “greedy” — it optimizes for maximum intelligence at the expense of speed and cost. When you’re facing a difficult problem that requires sophisticated reasoning, Max Mode can help you get it right the first time.
Max Mode is available exclusively to Silver and Gold members.

​
When to Use Max Mode

Max Mode shines when you’re working on tasks that require deeper reasoning and more nuanced understanding:

​
Complex Third-Party Integrations

APIs, webhooks, and services that require careful coordination and error handling.

​
Sophisticated UI/UX Designs

Nuanced layouts, animations, and interactions that need thoughtful implementation.

​
Advanced Business Logic

Role-based access control, multi-step workflows, and complex state management.

​
Challenging Debugging

Tricky bugs that require understanding multiple parts of your codebase at once.

​
Quality Over Speed

If you prioritize the highest quality output and aren’t sensitive to credit cost, Max Mode delivers the best results Mocha can offer.

​
Credits & Cost

Max Mode uses more credits per request than the default mode — typically 20% to 200% more depending on the complexity of your request. However, Max Mode can actually save you credits on complex tasks:
  • Fewer iterations: Better reasoning means getting things right the first time
  • Less debugging: More intelligent code generation leads to fewer bugs
  • More reusable code: Higher quality output that you won’t need to rewrite
Switching between Max Mode and default mode during a session resets Mocha’s caching system. For the most economical usage, try to stay consistent with one mode throughout a session.

​
Best Practices

  1. Start with default mode for routine tasks and simple modifications
  2. Switch to Max Mode when you hit a wall or need sophisticated reasoning
  3. Stay consistent within a session to preserve caching benefits
  4. Be specific in your prompts — Max Mode excels when given detailed context about complex requirements
